About Me

Brian grew up in a very small town called Franklin, Illinois, with a population of about 500. Fun Fact: His graduating class in high school was 20 kids and at one point, he and his cousins made up 11% of the high school! Brian joined Plancorp in 2020 as a financial planner. Prior to Plancorp, he worked at Edward Jones and had his own office in Litchfield, Illinois. His experience taught him how to build relationships and truly get to know clients as people first. He believes that is how you can truly impact clients' lives.

Brian came to Plancorp because of the more collaborative and team-driven environment. He enjoys turning advanced financial concepts into easy to understand strategies for his clients. He especially enjoys helping clients navigate equity compensation!

During his time in college at SIUE, Brian was a member of the Men’s Club Volleyball team, as well as a practice player for SIUE’s Division 1 volleyball team. He still enjoys playing volleyball and working out any chance he gets. Outside of work, he also enjoys spending time with his family, especially his niece and nephew.
